All Hail the King by Alex Paramo
27, 11, 11 and 3: some of the numbers that Lebron James posted during the Cleveland Cavaliers victory against the reigning NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors. In a world of numbers, what does an NBA Championship bring to a team, a city, a community?
By the Numbers
According to an article in the Miami SunSentinal, “a bonus from the league for teams and players, more ticket and merchandise sales, better endorsements contracts, more tourism to the area and many other benefits — all of which adds up to tens of millions of dollars at least, according to sports business experts.”
Additionally, just by his move to the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Miami Heat, Lebron James added $500 million dollars to the Cleveland-area economy. The city that was known as the “Mistake by the Lake” is slowly recovering from a mass manufacturing exodus.
Unemployment is down in the 6% range from the 10% range it suffered from in 2010. Lump on that all of the new sales in Championship merchandise, tickets for the 2016-2017 season and increase revenue in Cleveland as a tourist destination.
Beyond the Numbers
Of course what the NBA Championship brings to the Cleveland area goes beyond numbers. Legendary Cleveland Browns running back, Jim Brown discusses the value to the city of Cleveland of this incredible accomplishment by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The final number was 93-89 and the most memorable number for the past 54 years in the city of Cleveland is 1 NBA Championship.
